Supposedly the Pugsley uses hubs that are the same size as mountain bike hubs, so the scheme sounds good "on paper" as it were.
The Framed Minnesota line of fat bikes at one time came with a second set of wheels when you bought the bike just for this purpose. Not sure if they are still offering this. Newer fat bikes are using odd sized axles like my Norco has a 197 rear axle I think it is.
